    IntroductionWe studied the renal transplantation results of living donor compared with cadaveric donor kidney transplantations.Patients And MethodsOne hundred thirty-six living donor transplantations performed during the period of 1990 to 2003 (group 1) were compared with a control group of 4304 cadaveric donor transplantations (group 2), paired 1:1 with group 1 patients, according to the period of transplantation, the primary renal disease, the transplant number, as well as the recipient and donor ages.ResultsThere were no differences regarding patient or graft survival during a 10-year follow-up.ConclusionsThe benefit of performing living donor kidney transplantations is the possibility of having the donor available even before beginning dialysis treatment.
